Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 55 Showdown!

This is the fundamental Heavenly Dao contained within the divine crystals of the Wilderness World.

In almost every chaotic world, the Heavenly Dao requires these "basic elements," which may be earth, fire, water, and wind, or metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; in weaker worlds, it may be water and fire alone...

Some of them may seem to have the same name, but they are actually different.

The Heavenly Dao born from the Divine Crystals differed significantly from one another in the Great Wilderness World, let alone in this world, where they were no longer within the same grand framework.

Take the "Heavenly Way of Earth" as an example. This supreme rule of the Origin World does not recognize it and directly distorts and transforms it into the "Original Law of Earth".

If he doesn't change and comprehends the former, the silver-clad primordial spirit will have no way to establish itself in this world.

If Jiang Zhe weren't a native soul, and if the divine crystal hadn't had a novel structure with the potential to become a primordial universe, and if this example of something akin to "the universe taking form" weren't worth recording... then the Supreme Rules would never have intervened.

According to the silver-clad primordial spirit's previous perception, the Dao principles within the divine crystal were divided into ten.

Earth, fire, water, and wind are the foundation;

The middle level has four Heavenly Paths, which stand side by side in pairs and depend on each other.

At the top level is the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, and a peculiar "parasitic" Heavenly Dao, which clings tightly to the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, its origins unknown.

Aside from the four basic ones, Jiang Zhe couldn't understand the other two levels of Dao, and he would only wait and see how they unfolded in the future.

The immense resources within the divine crystal were shattered, melted, and reforged by the supreme rules.

Partially modified into life crystal cores, providing affinity with the laws;

Part of it transforms into the "inner universe".

The "inner universe" is similar to the "inner world," but it is more advanced.

The latter possessed the characteristics of a realm lord in advance, while the former possessed the characteristics of a god-king in advance.

I have carefully studied the secret methods of "Primitive Evolution".

Jiang Zhe knew that as long as his understanding of the laws was sufficient in the future, he could drive the evolution of the "inner world" without needing any external energy.

The vast resources that the Divine Crystal already possessed were transformed into an undeveloped chaotic universe, enabling it to be self-sufficient.

"The requirements for cultivating 'Primal Evolution' are very demanding. Taking the first step requires me to comprehend an entire lower-level fundamental law before I can proceed?"

"As expected of a gift from the supreme rules, the starting point for cultivation requires one to be an immortal god!"

"Given four options, which one should you choose?"

Jiang Zhe fell into thought.

The main body and the silver-clad primordial spirit are two separate entities, capable of comprehending the fundamental laws without interfering with each other.

Jiang Zhe sighed, "It seems like there are four options, but in reality, there are only two paths..."

Firstly, one can choose from earth, fire, or water to follow the spatial school of thought.

"Without good martial arts secret techniques to help them comprehend the laws of space, the space faction is destined to stumble and fall. Its only advantage is its high affinity with the laws."

"The 'Myriad Threads Flow'? That's a secret technique of a mentalist. The silver-clad primordial spirit is an energy-type life form, without a soul (?), which means it doesn't possess mental power."

It is said that after three cycles of reincarnation, the soul will decay and die, but that part of the soul has already dispersed into the divine crystal.

In other words, the way the silver-clad primordial spirit died was the dissipation of its consciousness and the complete erasure of its life imprint.

Secondly, choose the wind and follow the time-based approach.

"The silver-clad primordial spirit is wind, and the true form is thunder. Wind and thunder combine and corroborate each other, and there's also the temporal law imprint... Before even entering the Virtual Universe Company, this was already a smooth path!"

"But there's no need to walk the same path again!"

Jiang Zhe decided to push "himself" and make the silver-clad primordial spirit follow the spatial faction.

Then, we conveniently blocked each other's "channels for exchanging insights into the laws," and we each did our own thing without interfering with each other.

The silver-clad primordial spirit was stunned by the series of actions of the main body.

You're a real dog!

In the end, the silver-clad primordial spirit could only rely on its affinity with the laws and grind for more understanding of the laws, without even having a single usable "tutorial material" in hand.

He drooled with envy at the two law rubbings in his hands.

As for the martial arts secrets of Meteorite Star?

As Babata said, it was indeed terrible.

Orianna had already seen it; only the secret methods for cultivating lower-level laws were considered exquisite. Of the few works that involved cultivating higher-level laws, none could compare to "The Flow of Ten Thousand Threads".

—Choose one of earth, fire, or water, and combine it with the laws of space for cultivation!

This is the path set for the silver-clad primordial spirit.

The practice of "Primitive Evolution" requires one to comprehend a lower-level law before beginning, and one must wait patiently for the right opportunity.

Afterwards, the silver-clad primordial spirit entered the world bracelet and will reside permanently in the spacious hall at the top of the tower for some time to come.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Zhe was the only one left in the cockpit.

Orianna went to the lower cabins to instruct the slaves on what to do after arriving on Earth.

Gently pat your cheeks a couple of times to boost your spirits.

Jiang Zhe reached out and took out a rusty bronze incense burner, stroking it carefully.

He has now corrected the Jiang family's concept of spiritual practice.

What kind of gene energy training is this?

Everyone, go and refine your mindset, figure out your power generation techniques, and while you're at it, take a look at the secret techniques related to the fundamental laws...

If you bury yourself in studying for decades, and one day suddenly you have an epiphany and stumble into the field from the realm of ideas, then you'll have struck gold!

After the Jiang family members completely stopped needing "slag", the bronze furnace remained in Jiang Zhe's possession.

After gaining some understanding of the laws of time, he finally saw through some of the secrets of the bronze furnace.

"What brilliant mind designed such a clumsy mechanism? It requires crossing the thresholds of two higher laws—time and space—and combining them with a specific domain to even have a chance of completing the puzzle?"

"Almost there, just wait a little longer, I want to see what treasures are inside."

After taking a few more glances at the crystal cores inside the bronze furnace, Jiang Zhe carefully put them away again and continued to process what he had gained from the dream.

After traveling through the dark universe for ten days, Jiang Zhe finally returned to the solar system.

"29 times the force amplitude!"

"36 times the amplitude of telekinesis!"

In the cockpit, Jiang Zhe, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, a smile on his lips, and whispered softly, the sharp look in his eyes gradually fading.

With a thought, dark purple lightning surged within the cabin, and a lightning domain enveloped the area.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Five realms? We still need to work harder."

"I am confident in my understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning; I just need to sketch them out on the 'circuit board' and verify them."

"These things aren't urgent for now. Let's explain the situation to our family first."

"Anna, send a message to the old man and tell everyone in the family above planetary level to come and find us."

After sending the message, Orianna controlled the spaceship to enter the Earth's atmosphere and landed in a wilderness area more than 300 miles outside the Lanling base city.

In less than ten minutes, four streaks of light flew into the valley and saw the disc-shaped spaceship, nearly 150 meters in diameter, stuck between the two mountains.

The four of them were instantly stunned.

The four men looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt, their muscles tense, and they were on high alert.

Such a brand new spaceship—

Could it be that Xiao Zhe has become a traitor, and we're all supposed to betray the team?

It wasn't until Jiang Zhe and Oriana came out to greet them that the four of them entered the spaceship with some doubt.

What Jiang Zhe explained to them afterwards was completely beyond their imagination.

Light-speed travel; the dark universe; a distance of 32 light-years; the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Qiulong Star; the price of a life-bearing planet; cosmic-level slaves...

The others were confused, but when it came to the cosmic level, the four of them had a concept of it, having all seen the video that the War God Palace had treasured.

Knowing that this was a formidable figure capable of fighting on a white dwarf and destroying a continental plate with a single punch, he was a local tyrant in a star system.

But what if we add the suffix "slave" after that?

The four men felt extremely unreal when they saw the two young slaves with collars behind Jiang Zhe, who exuded an undeniable and terrifying aura of power.

A cosmic-level powerhouse could actually be a slave?

What are we anyway?

However, what is Xiao Zhe's status in the universe, given that he can command cosmic-level slaves?

Gradually, everyone was filled with mixed feelings.

Both fearful and eager.

Even the old man, who was very good at maintaining his composure, had a flushed face and his body trembled slightly.

Jiang Zhe then revealed a number of other things.

The four of them looked at the smart quantum computer bracelets in their hands with great curiosity and set up their desired assistant avatars according to the tutorial.

In the future, if members of the Jiang family want to come into contact with the universe, they will first have to learn the universal language and master the basic common sense of the universe. Only then, under the supervision of the AI ​​controlled by Oriana, will they be allowed to enter the virtual universe.

As for the others?

Jiang Zhe had no intention of letting them come into contact with the universe at this stage.

After the battle of geniuses, we will encourage alien races to immigrate to other planets, giving the Jiang family a large area of ​​land in the Americas. This will not only provide ample territory for the family's development, but also serve many other purposes.

"If I want to do this, I must take a cosmic ruler, or at the very least a cosmic kingdom ruler, as my teacher. Otherwise, once Earth is exposed, it will be difficult to protect such a large piece of the pie."

Jiang Zhe was deep in thought, filled with worry.

The second generation of the Jiang family, including Jiang Zhe's father, were sent away by the old man, who stayed behind to discuss something with Jiang Zhe.

"Xiao Zhe, even if we prevent Earthlings from contacting the universe, can you help Han Xia?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will send some cultivation resources and secret techniques to Uncle Jia Yi later. How he distributes them is up to him."

Such a low seniority... Jiang Zhe felt depressed.

"Xiao Zhe, what about the monster rampage?"

"Grandpa, we have to keep the monsters. Since we can't access space, humanity needs pressure to force them to grow."

"Oh, you're right." The light in the old man's eyes dimmed considerably.

After a few moments of silence, he said again, "You should let Hong and Lei Shen know."

Jiang Zhe nodded in agreement.

Hong and Thor were somewhat useful in his plan.

The old man continued, "You're nineteen years old now, it's time to find someone."

Jiang Zhe: "Hmm...hmm?!"
